Grab the disc based version if you haven't got any of the DLC packs, it's worth it as you can sell it/trade it after finishing it :)

Wow, Zombie Apocalypse is on sale AGAIN?? This is the 3rd time in the past 4 months, from my count. I felt that the indie game "I Made a Game With Zombies" is much better... and a fraction of the price.

It would be nice to see Left 4 Dead (1 and 2): The Sacrifice on sale, too. (shrug) At least this week's deals are better than last week's! smile

Hmm ... nothing here for me. I'm more interested in finding out those Activison deals that are starting tomorrow, and the EA ones after that. Hopefully there's something good there.
